Ride is weather permitting - not raining.

Sunday 14th May - Advanced riders only - No newbs, 300's or cruiser bikes - Leaving Esso station at Barton and Centennial in Hamilton (10 minutes from QEW Burlington Skyway) at 130pm. Twisty roads all the way to Niagara Falls. Pace is a "spirited" and sporting that'll blow out the cob webs...

Instead of trying to figure out when you need to calibrate your clicker or LED snap on torque wrench why don't you try using a Beam-type torque wrench, they never go out of calibration and they don't care how they're stored. Higher tech doesn't necessarily mean better, although a clicker...

Thanks for the Google search but...... I lived in Vancouver, a couple of those shops couldn't fix a bicycle. International is a high volume importer who has extremely poor customer service. People buy a machine cheap areally never expected to return. They don't do much in the way of...

We used to undercut transmission gears when I worked at Niagara Race Crafters back in the 90s. Most gears these days have a factory undercut, you should keep in mind that once you additionally undercut a gear you're through the surface hardening of the dog so you can expect accelerated wear...

valves too tight most notably cause lack of heat transfer from head of valve to the seat in the head, not only does the valve face surface deform easier in this overheated condition but the oil on the stem burns and causes problems in the guide such as sticking valves (common in large twins...

Leaving the Esso at the corner of Barton and Centennial in Hamilton at 130pm today for Niagara Twisties. We'll be in Niagara Falls around 4pm if you want to get QEW if you have to get home, otherwise we'll go south to Port Colborne and go along the shore of Lake Erie and end up coming back...

Hahaha! You beat me to it! Hahaha

I started in themotorcycle industry as an apprentice in 1987 out in Niagara where any kind ofyear round work is scarce. I finally became licensed in 1994 and I still onlygot seasonal work. I owned a motorcycle repair shop for 3 years inSt.Catharines in the mid 90's which I closed when GM cut...

Some double jumps on Snake rd would be fun! Fake police don't affect my speed but real police do, just ask them where I went.

Those K+N and Hi Flo filter filters have a very good chance of getting you killed. In the 30 years + that I've been working in the motorcycle industry, I've seen a number of accidents caused by these second rate GARBABE filters. The orings at the base of these filters are made of second rate...

I met Rory last year, out of the blue, bought some parts off him from an ad on kijiji and he came out for a rip with me the next day. One of the better riders I've met in the last 5 years. We had a couple good rides, his girlfriend came out to the back roads and took some pictures in some fun...

Lurk, lurk, lurk.... I post ride looking for "advanced" riders, "spirited pace". Come out some time on the rare occasion that I post a ride on this site or send me a PM. I check my messages at least every 3 months or so.

Good to ride with some old "Halton Sportbike" rider friends from back in the 90's! It was like old times but we didn't beat up on Aprillia ' s back then like we did with Jeff today, he's a good sport! Hope we have more great rides!

I make sure to give them a reason! It's fun to watch them disappear in the mirrors!

Saturday 20th june. I like to use calendars but not very well.

+1 Tech should have ridden it and also spun front wheel with it off the ground. Having to push the lever into the master cylinder so he could put the pivot bolt through it should have been his first clue. I've been a licensed tech for 20 years and seen a lot of mistakes that would have been...

Saturday 20th june: Leaving the esso at Barton and centennial in hamilton at 130pm for niagara twisties at 130pm. We'll be in the falls about 4pm where you can get on qew if you have to be back early. Ride will continue out to port colborne then along lake Erie shoreline to Cayuga then...

Great ride yesterday with Justin and Matt. Great pace in the back roads out to the falls. Good ride along lake Erie shoreline and back through Caledonia. Would have been slightly better if Justin hadn't caught 4 ft of air off a railway crossing and snapped his muffler mount! Some really good...

Hahaha! I guess it was only a matter of time until someone posted something like that. Good one! Hahaha!
